Article 5...not done yet.

I'm reading Article 5 by Kristen Simmons...great intro, as well as weaving in character backstory within the first chapter.

Woah. That was a lot of big words.

I'm not on my phone, I'm on my brand new, handy dandy computer, so I guess that does it for you. Hmm.


Happy Holidays!

Now isn't this a charming picture?

I'm only posting this because my best friend Lorrin—yeah Lor, y-o-u—is OBSESSED with My Chemical Romance.

:) This is for you, Gallagher-Girl-in-training!

ARTEMIS FOWL HAS BEEN READ!!

Yes! I finally finished AF: The Last Guardian, surprisingly later than I thought I would. Normally, I could finish that book in easily a day or two, but it's been since...Saturday? Sunday? I lost track. Anyway, here's my review!

Title: Artemis Fowl: The Last Guardian (Artemis Fowl #8)
Author: Eoin Colfer
Publisher: Disney~Hyperion
Pub year: 2012
Genre: Fantasy

Rating: 4.9/5

Opal Koboi is at it again, creating an evil plan to get revenge on humankind. Haven City is rubble, electronics of all kind are destroyed, and just when the LEP are about to lose hope, their favorite rival, his feared bodyguard, and LEP on-again-off-again agent jump in to—hopefully—defeat Opal and save Haven. But to help, they'll need techie centaur Foaly, the flatulent, snippy dwarf Mulch Diggums, and two other mischievous little boys–Myles and Beckett Fowl. Read the last journey of Artemis Fowl and his comrades, and I'm sure you'll like it!

So...that was–I think– my first blurb that I've written so far...it pretty much sums up the book without giving too much away, right? Well, you wouldn't know unless you read the book, correct?
I rated the book 4.9 for personal reasons–because it's the last book in the AF series. :„(
The book is a pricey $18.99 in the U.S., and $20.99 in Canada! Don't worry, though, as after this book is done, you'll be so happy you got it!

Looking forward to Friday,
Cam

"Everyone Disappears. GONE."

Title-Gone (Gone, #1)
Author-Michael Grant
Publisher-HarperTeen/HarperCollins
Pub Year-2008

This novel, which is part of a teen science-fiction series by Michael Grant, is a stunning 558 pages long, but don't worry! If you don't particularly enjoy longer books, you'll love this one because of it's gripping storyline. Gone is published by HarperTeen, which is an imprint of HarperCollins publishers. The paperback copy I picked up Friday at Barnes & Noble has served its purpose well, and only cost $9.99*.

Gone centers around a sleepy town on the coast of the Pacific called Perdido Beach, and a boy named Sam. Sam and his friend Quinn, along with his crush--Astrid--try to find an escape from an impenetrable dome that when prodded, gives off an electric shock that's enough to ward away the kids.

Oh yeah. The kids.

Basically, the title refers to the first few lines of the book:
"One minute the teacher was talking about the Civil War. And then the next minute he was gone."
Everyone that is fifteen or older just disappears from the city. When children are left alone for five minutes, they cause minor trouble.

But what about forever?

I won't say anything else because I don't want to ruin the book, but I hope you read it!

Cam.
